|
|
hi,
just wanna ask.
one of my turtle keep pushing the other two turtle.
are they fighting?
these is the first time I saw these kind of behavior since I bought 1 month ++ ago.
or are they playing?
b'coz both of them extended their front leg(arm) and push each other.
(it's like how fighting spider fights)
for now there are no scratch mark but i want to prevent any in-fighting.
they are less than 1.5 inch carapace length and i put all three in a
3' length X 1.5' wide X 1.5' height glass aquarium with a log, a huge snail shell
and some river made rock(1" each).
please advice further |

Red-Eared Sliders.
I don't think they mature yet coz the size of the carapace length is just less than 1.5 inch. just a little bit bigger than 50 cent Malaysian "syilling".
I thought juvenile is about 4 inch the carapace length?
please enlighten me. |
